Sync

off, on

When Sync is set to on, the LFO phases of all voices are
synced so that they sound as one LFO. This can be
interesting when the LFO is applied to modulate Filter
Cutoff

or Panning.

When Sync is set to off, the LFOs run independently; this
is better suited for pitch modulation to obtain thicker
sounds.

w

Sync

does not mean that the LFO is synced to MIDI

Clock or to note start. This is done with the Clocked
parameter or the Phase parameter.

Clocked

off / on

When Clocked is activated, the LFO is synced to the
global Tempo of the Blofeld. The LFO Speed setting
changed to offer musically meaningful values.

Start Phase

free, 0°…360

Controls the initial phase of the LFO when a new note is
started. Free means that the LFO isn’t restarted on a new
note but runs freely while other values set the LFO phase
to the respective offset in degrees.

Keytrack

-200%...+196%

Determines how much the speed of the LFO depends on
MIDI note number. The reference note for Keytrack is E3,
note number 64. For positive settings, the LFO speeds up
on notes above the reference note, for negative settings
the LFO slows down when higher notes are played and
vice versa. A setting of +100% corresponds to a 1:1 scale,
e.g. when the keyboard is played an octave higher, the
LFO speed is doubled.

Delay

0...127

The Delay parameter works in different ways depending
on the setting of the Fade parameter:

When Fade is set to +00…+63, the LFO signal
output is zero for the time set with the Delay
parameter. After this time, the LFO is faded in and
then runs with full magnitude.

When Fade is set to –64…-01, the LFO runs with
full magnitude for the time set with the Delay
parameter. After this time, the LFO is faded out to
zero.
